I was to learn to assert myself: childhood and youth in Berlin -- Alone in the icy wastes: forced labor for Siemens -- A rainbow of unimaginable beauty: attempts at flight; going to ground -- The enemy is doing all this to us: the first winter in hiding -- I was the girl without a name: after 1943: something like a normal life -- I didn't have to surrender: the war is over.
